Science, Technology, and Socialist-Feminism in the 1980's
by Donna Haraway 1983
This prescient essay, while not written from a specifically anarchist perspective, remains unparalleled in its creative exploration of resistance predicated on a rejection of purity and "the natural." Haraway's cyborg transcends notions of intersectionality to trouble essentialism at its root. Her challenge to us--to imaginatively take up power in the course of its rejection--has been answered by many, but adequately refuted by none.
While we find this an intentionally anti-essentialist essay, and are aware of Haraway's history of solidarity with trans women, we must note with regret her use of the term "Phallogocentrism."
